Poetry. A collection of sixty-five poems by contemporary American writers on the theme of parenting grown children. Includes poems by Maxine Kumin, Hayden Carruth, Marie Ponsot, Raymond Carver, Robert Creeley and Carolyn Kizer, among others. "For anyone who has grown children, or for anyone who is a grown child—or on the way to being one—FAMILY REUNION captures the frustrations, anxieties, perplexities, heartaches and, yes, the pride and joy and tenderness that go, inevitably, both ways. These poems are a poignant record of how we age, eye to eye"—Alicia Ostriker.
